Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align] Add shorthands for alignment properties

I love the idea of providing a `place-content` shorthand because it 
combines space allocation into one property / thought.

I think @una is wise to point out that another `-content` property may
 confuse developers, especially if `place-content` works as a synonym 
for one of the other properties, but not both (e.g. **Option A** 
allows you to ditch the use of `justify-content` entirely).

However, presuming this shorthand does not and cannot rely on a type, 
would it be possible to introduce a **skip** character of some sort?

```css
/* if ... place-content: <'justify-content'> / <'align-content'>; */
place-content: * center;

/* is like writing */
align-content: center;

/* while */
place-content: center;

/* is like writing */
justify-content: center;
```
